NORML’s ‘Share-A-Room’ Program

Need to save money on attending this year’s conference? Try NORML’s ‘Share-a-Room’ system by indicating who you’re looking for in a roommate (i.e., gender, age, medical cannabis patient, smoking vs. non-smoking, vegan, etc…) and NORML will try to match you with another NORML supporter who is looking for the same in a potential 3-4 day roommate.

Travel

Make Your Airline Reservation ASAP

With airline costs going up because of higher fuel prices, now is the time to lock-in a reasonable airfare. NORML’s 2008 conference in Berkeley is well served by two major airports, Oakland and San Francisco (and San Jose’s Airport is only 35 miles away).

For most NORML conference goers, Oakland’s airport will be the most convenient for which to arrive, however, San Francisco’s airport is less than 15 miles away (for those who plan on renting a car, San Jose’s airport is fairly close by as well). Oakland and San Francisco airports are both well served by mass transit and the BART system.
